Wasn’t this devil taken from the sky? By the way, if you believe Wikipedia, something close to the modern umbrella appeared in the 17th century in France.
The French were not very confused with terms. What does an umbrella do? Stops the rain - umbrella (parar - stop, pluie - rain), and stops the sun - umbrella. Also, by the way, and in Spanish - parasol and paraguas.From the French word parasol was borrowed from Polish. The Poles were apparently not interested in the subtlety of using the umbrella (from the sun or from the rain), so the word lived in both meanings. Well, from the Polish umbrella came to the Ukrainian, where a little slavised. So it turned out funny for the Russian ear " umbrella" in the Russian language appeared " umbrella", and only then - " umbrella". This is due to the fact that "zonnetek" is a Dutch word perceived by the Russian ear and digested in its own way. This is a shipping term, so it is not difficult to guess thanks to whose efforts and at what time the word appeared in our language. The Zonnedek on Dutch vessels is a tent that was stretched over the deck (dek) to protect from the sun (zonne).
